Humorism Evening Podcast No. 009

Presenting episode 009 of the Humorism Evening Podcast, available here and wherever you listen to podcasts:

In this episode I discuss (again) what comedy's left-wingers can do about comedy's right-wingers, Shane Gillis's Guinness World Record for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence, and the comedian—you'll never guess who—with a financial stake in Yondr.

Also mentioned: you can now listen to the Humorism Evening Podcast on YouTube, if that's what you like.
